LET’S TRY TO SEE THE POSITIVESOUTH KOREA HAS FLATTENED THE CURVE! WHAT ARE THE DOING DIFFERENTLY? ISOLATING AND WEARING MASKS. MORE ABOUT THAT LATER.

YES, WE HAVE A HIGHER NUMBER OF CONFIRMED INFECTIONS BUT THAT IS BECAUSE WE ARE
DOING MORE TESTING.
![Page 6: Let’s be smart about it…. - Laser Defined Vision](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022021022/6204e91cc216a930bc709af3/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
MORE GOOD NEWS. 81% ARE MILD INFECTIONS.CONVINCE YOUR HIGH-RISK POPULATIONS AND OLDER PARENTS TO STAY HOME.
HOWEVER, YOUNGER PATIENTS CAN GET IT AS WELL!

SOCIAL ISOLATION IT DOES NOT MEAN THIS…..REALLY GOLFING IN A GROUP IS NOT SOCIAL ISOLATION. EVEN IN SEPARATE CARTS. YOU STILL APPROACH EACH OTHER AT SOME POINT. IF YOU ARE TOTALLY BY YOURSELF THAT IS A DIFFERENT STORY.

WHAT ABOUT MASK?
BASIC SURGICAL MASKS PROTECT YOU FROM ME BUT ONLY TIGHTLY
FIT N95 MASKS CAN HELP THE COVID-19 HIGH RISK ENCOUNTER
WHAT A MASK DOES WELL IS KEEP YOU FROM TOUCHING YOUR HANDS
TO YOUR FACE WHICH IS A GOOD THING. ONLY HEALTHCARE
WORKERS NEED N95 MASKS FOR TREATING ACTIVELY INFECTED
PATIENTS. THEY CAN BE WASHED AND REUSED.

FINALLY SOME GOOD NEWS!
Roche has announced that the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has formally approved its phase 3 trial of Actemra in severely ill COVID-19 patients, who have been hospitalised with pneumonia.
Actemra (tocilizumab) – an interleukin-6 inhibitor – has already been approved in China for the treatment of patients infected with the novel coronavirus disease, who have developed serious lung damage and also have elevated levels of IL-6 in the blood.
Previous research has suggested that elevated IL-6 – a biomarker for inflammation and a high-level immune response – is associated with a higher mortality in people with community-acquired pneumonia.
The investigation of Actemra's use in COVID-19 is based on the hope that the drug could interrupt the process of ‘cytokine release syndrome’ (CRS), a form of serious inflammatory response that can occur as a complication of some infections.
It was first cleared by the FDA as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis and has also subsequently been approved in juvenile idiopathic arthritis, giant cell arteritis and CRS associated with CAR-T cell therapies for cancer.
Roche had announced its intent to collaborate on a trial evaluating the drug in COVID-19 patients with the US Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA) earlier this month.
The company has also committed to providing 10,000 vials of Actemra to the US Strategic National Stockpile for potential future use, and has also indicated that it has been working with distributors to manage product supply.
“We thank the FDA for rapidly expediting the approval of this clinical trial to evaluate Actemra in critically ill patients suffering from pneumonia following coronavirus infection and we’re moving forward to enrol as quickly as possible,” said Alexander Hardy, chief executive officer of Roche's Genentech unit.
The trial – named COVACTA – will recruit around 330 patients around the world, with an expected start date sometime in early April.
The primary and secondary endpoints will include assessing clinical status, mortality, mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit variables in the patient population.
Despite a number of clinical trials evaluating Actemra already ongoing across the world, =Genentech has maintained that the COVACTA study is pivotal because there are still no well-controlled studies and limited published evidence on the safety or efficacy of the drug in COVID-19.
Sanofi and Regeneron have also initiated a trial evaluating their own IL-6 inhibitor Kevzara (sarilumab) in the same indication – severely-ill COVID-19 patients who have been hospitalised.
ONE OF MY FRIEND’S RELATIVES HAD TAKEN A TURN FOR THE WORSE AND HAD TO BE INTUBATED. HE IS DOING BETTER AFTER BEING ENROLLED IN
THE ACTEMRA TRIALS. HE IS IN HIS 40’S WHICH I CONSIDER YOUNG.

USING THE ANTIBODIES OF THOSE THAT HAVE RECOVERED FROM COVID-19
Patients who have been infected with the coronavirus and have recovered could be key to fighting the disease. One potential treatment uses the antibodies built up in the blood of patients who have survived the illness. This past weekend, Dr. Eric Salazar supervised a treatment at Houston Methodist Hospital he hopes will become the first proven therapy against COVID-19.Here's how it works: Blood taken from recovered patients contains antibodies that can attack the virus. Dr. Salazar and his team transfused plasma – the part of blood containing those antibodies –into two critically-ill patients.
One potential treatment being studied uses blood plasma collected from coronavirus survivors, whom one doctor credits as "incredibly generous people." CBS NEWSDr. Salazar told CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook he is monitoring patients very closely to see if the transfusion works.Dr. LaPook asked, "Have you discussed a goal for how many people you'd like to be able to treat a day using this method?""As many as possible," he replied.Such transfusions may have helped a small number of patients in China, but much more study is needed.
